    Dirty, noisy, no mirrors, expensive for what you get

    Staff was friendly but the motel had a dirty slimy shower floor, no mirrors, dirty sofa, noisy because the walls are so thin, heard music until wee hours of morning, no drinking water, no food and they charged $280 per night! No thanks!More

    Fun and Funky

    We had a wonderful stay here. Rooms were decorated in fun retro style, yet they were comfortable and very clean. Both the bathroom and the bedroom were large with plenty of room. The pool area was super cool.

    We stayed in the smallest room as we only needed it to sleep. Can't remember what they call it... It was big enough for two without feeling claustrophobic.
